welcome back we have been sent a new product by Nonna
you might remember previously that we tested the Nonna car charger and vehicle
locator a couple years ago well they thought we might like to try out the
wireless induction charter now wireless charging really didn't take off a whole
lot until Apple just released the iPhone 8 8 plus and 10 which now finally
feature inductive charging and inductive fast charging or at least what Apple
considers fast charging the rest of the world doesn't quaint but I kind of
solidified the Qi or Qi wireless inductive charging standard as pretty
much the standard of choice now so we have a to coil inductive fast charger
and this will this will this is capable of charging at some pretty decent speeds
15 watts although your Apple products are gonna be limited to 7.5 and that's
after firmware or iOS 1.11 point to update now 2 coils how it works
is their arm coils inside the charging stand now most chargers are inductive
charges have a single coil which then means you have to line up your phone
pretty much just just right to get it to work because the further the device is
away the less power is getting to the device and we're not talking a whole lot
of leeway here this one's got 2 coils so no matter where the inductive receiver
is on the device or the phone it'll it'll pretty much reach so we got an
iPhone 8 there and no my screens not correct effect that is the screen
protector another nice thing that known to sends is their power brick now this
isn't a normal power brick it's quite powerful and it is Qualcomm quick charge
three point all compliant so if you have an Android device that supports Qualcomm
quick charge standards you can actually use directly if you need a quick charge
instead of an inductive charge well the inductive charging is
convenient for use the quick charge can get you 50 percent in 20-30 minutes and
that's pretty darn good so you have that option you can either
plug straight into here with your charging cable for a quick charge not
available on Apple products Apple has their own after thing as they usually do
or you can plug it into the back of the inductive charger oh let's see
DC our input five to nine volts 1.8 amp output five to nine volts 1.67 amp not
bad now inductive isn't as efficient as
wired charging that sure is convenient so that's it
plugged it in has a micro USB input on the back so if you want to use your own
cable longer cable for better placement go right ahead and do that so we're
gonna just take my iPhone 8 Oh is charging now unfortunately iPhone 8 or
iOS 11 does not allow us to see actual charging amps any longer so that's you
know somewhat unfortunate there was a light here but that can tell you the
Lightning symbol up there is on and it is charging no way there's a status
light down here that changes colors depending on the status of the charge
obviously owner's manual and put wireless charging mobile phone on pad
excuse me well turn from green to will turn to green from blue and start
charging it shows charging position is improper
when the LED is flashing please move the phone a little bit and the LED keeps
green nice so there you have it now for reference the inductive charging
receiver on the 8 is pretty much right around the Apple logo combines may vary
on Android devices but it seems to work this will be a welcome addition to my
desk if you're interested in purchasing please seize the purchase link in the
description box below also keep in mind for inductive charging to work you
cannot have a metal case on your device metal cases or any metal at all will
block the the the charges
